    1. “Rescuing” parts of paintings, and other surreal elements

      by , 08-29-2013 at 02:29 PM
      Morning of August 29, 2013. Thursday.



      One part of my dream is related to seeing a park as if in a documentary (although it seems I am actually there at times). The first person seems normal other than having about three large layers of completely loose skin on the right side of his head, which also have a bit of hair. Mostly, there are interviews regarding the day-to-day challenges of life. Parts of the skin actually seem slightly larger than his head in particular areas.

      Later on, the deformities become more and more diverse. There is a person who is like Schlitzie the pinhead.

      One of the people looks very small (only about two feet tall) and also as if he has a mostly blue body and a head that looks like a baby bird with fuzzy fly-like (but not bulging) eyes and a straight black fuzzy beak instead of a mouth but yet is also more mouse-like overall than bird-like. (He looks a little like the Muppet Gonzo crossed with the aliens at the end of Star Trek’s “Cat’s Paw” episode in some ways.) However, this still does not seem all that unusual to me. I focus on the rather bizarre imagery and think that he is probably no different than other people in terms of mind, thought, and desires (even though the brain would be very small).

      There is another section of my dream that seems to have no direct connection to any aspect of my usual thoughts and aspirations. I work for various well-known actors, one of them a young Sean Connery. My job is to “rescue” certain parts of paintings (almost as if they were “alive” in some way), such as the Mona Lisa, supposedly owned by Sean Connery who I later see at a larger open area in a park near at least two picnic tables with several other people gathered - and other paintings that are in museums in real life, but owned by actors in my dream. There are several repeating scenarios in terms of main ideas, but very diverse in imagery and even mood at times.

      A strange, very unattractive, unkempt, and chubby woman (about forty) has the Mona Lisa. I need to get in and get out of her house safely, taking the parts of the painting that need to be “rescued”, which in this case, are the lips; upper lip and bottom lip separately. I have special weapons and items to help me in my work. I use a special, rather complex knife to cut out the upper lip, which seems more and more three-dimensional and a piece of art and sculpture in itself. The same is true for the taking out of the bottom lip, which I do without too much trouble. The female thief is very angry, but I manage to stop her from killing me by running a two-toned (in color, purple and white) retractable rod through her upper body, which takes a few attempts. The rod is like a more complex device that is somewhat antenna-like in that the two differently-colored sections can collapse into each other for ease of carrying on a mission. The woman is not even hurt that much it seems (even though I am certain there were wounds through her whole body), but I manage to get away with the stolen “art”. It seems likely that she is part of a gang of art thieves.

      I vaguely worry that people at the park gathering will eat the cake (or “lips”), which now looks like sections of fancy cupcakes that I try to arrange a bit more neatly near the edge of the picnic table, with a few crumbs falling away here and there - even some of the several layers not quite “in line” - and I will not get any recognition of my accomplishments (or having risked my life) in my work and special missions. (I may be the only active agent of such missions.) People meander about, oblivious to the art recovery. I think of trying to get Sean’s attention, but I do not actually attempt it. However, it does seem I am paid somehow, and I eventually understand that I now have $600.00 in my wallet (along with other papers, which possibly relate to spying) as I shift into a different dream.

      My dream that followed the above one is fairly simple; involving mostly walking about in various locations with the pinhead I knew in real life.



      Known precognitive/postcognitive elements:

      As usual (but only occasionally documented online), there were very precise precognitive and postcognitive elements relating to real life:

      1. Page 11 (half the “master number” and a “key” itself) of a library book (I had not seen) my wife and sons had been working with is called “Let’s Eat Cake!” (with pictures of cupcakes everywhere) and in the list it has “Can you spot…” and “a mouse?” (regarding the “freak” mouse/bird/human creature) following. This is also comparable to the concept of being a spy or detective and finding certain hidden things by separating them from the more complex setups.

      2. The next page (which they had spent time trying to work out and my wife said she “had in her mind” for awhile) has “Can you spot…” followed by both “a cupcake” and “a pair of wax lips”. In the actual photo, the pair of wax lips has, under it, a device that looks very similar to the “weapon”/rod from my dream and is also of the same two colors (purple and white).

    2. Bookstore 08/29/2013

      by , 08-29-2013 at 01:22 PM
      I was at a bookstore. I sat on the floor in front of a bookcase. I started organizing the bottom row in to two sides, both with the same books in order. My caretaker walked up to me asking me why I'm sitting on the floor. I ignored her, but got up after a while. --- I was at a food stall, the lady complimented me and offered me food. She dipped some salty ball shaped dough in to a sweet soup with papaya. I was surprised, and asked if she sells the soup.

    3. South America, Population Movement, Mom, Discipline

      by , 08-29-2013 at 11:34 AM (The Redeeming Dreamer)
      8/29/2013, 10:15-6:10

      Woke up once in the night at like 1:20. Didn't remember any dreams from before that. Tried to also, once again, stay up a couple extra minutes for a WBTB. Afterwards, I remember to dreams:

      Dream 1:

      I was in my house. I was in the kitchen, where my mom was. I remember I did something to her she didn't like, and she started screaming at me not to do it again.

      Dream 2:

      I remember South American city, and an island to the northwest of it (Hawaii?). People were going from the island to a South American city. It was like on coastal Columbia or Ecuador. This dream was entirely third person.
    4. Bandits

      by , 08-29-2013 at 11:33 AM
      My father, my sister and I were in our van. (Woa, since when do i have a sister? In the dream my sister and I were grown up but younger than now. I did not really see the sister in the van, but she got mentioned and I just knew she was there.)

      Some bandits stopped us, and suggested that my father fight them in an alley, and if he looses the bandits get to rape my sister and me, and if he wins we may go. I thought this was a very bad idea and expressed my concern to my dad. He said "Do not worry, as long as there are only the three bandits, I will win." (?!) My father left the van and started walking toward bandits in the alley. I locked all car doors from the inside. I dialed on my phone "POLICE". A woman answered but I hung up. (?!) I heard a fourth bandit open the trunk (the van had a trunk like a car), and start looking through it. So there were four bandits at least, we had no chance.

      And here is where it gets tricky: there are three endings. I think I kind of thought of all three, and saw all three versions?
      Ending 1: I saw the bandit number four approach our car to break the window with a huge metal ship anchor, and there was no time for me to do anything.
      Ending 2: I called 911 (this time remembered it was 911, and not POLICE).
      Ending 3: I jumped into the driver's seat, started the car, and even started driving, knowing I was leaving my father behind, but no choice.

      The dream was quite vivid up until ending 1. And I think at that point my mind rebelled that it was not satisfied with that ending, so it flashed the two alternative endings in front of me, as the dream was fading away. Honestly I am not sure whether I was fully asleep for endings 2 and 3 though or whether I was already on my way to waking up.

      Fragment: eating the junk eel's head (that's all I recall - no clue what it means.)

    5. The Space Tale and the Whale's Game

      by , 08-29-2013 at 11:02 AM (My Humble Collection of Somnigraphies)
      August 29 2013 - Dream Fragment #1 I remember suddenly being jolted awake at my house. I didn't do an RC (very odd, as I've been setting pretty strict rules about how much I reality check, and I hoped that this rigorous schedule would help) and so I went on in an nLD. I remember in some way getting to this flattish house that was very, very luxurious by my standards in waking life but very normal there. One of my friends from WL was there and he asked me what game I wanted to play. I said "Block War" (or something along those lines) and he said, "Teach me how to play Block War!" I carefully explained it to him. (I cannot for the life of me remember the description but it had to do with a whale at the end for some reason) So we played that for a while and then he wanted to go check out my PC, so I showed it to him. I realized there was no mousepad so I tore up the house looking for one and I found it. I remember leaving and then going somewhere but getting murdered before I could do anything.

      Dream Fragment #2 I remember having to go retrieve something and my vision flashing, "Episode 1". I went to this YMCA-type place near where I live IWL, more or less, except everything was different. When I got there I saw some people that I hate from school throwing around a frisbee on an extremely steep dirt hill. I was wearing flip-flops and had to walk down it to see where I wanted to go. I almost wiped out a few times but I managed to get to the bottom. I was then thrown into a few trivial tasks that I cannot remember but at some point aliens invaded and completely destroyed this mansion next to the YMCA and used it as their base. I saw I couple of celebrities walk down from above and come over next to me. They looked like they wanted to fight the aliens, and I agreed, but I said I want to talk to them first (WHAT IN THE HELL WAS I THINKING? I'M NOT A DC!) so I walked up to the front door of the mansion. The door opened into a makeshift council room of sorts. There were about eight normal-sized aliens in the room and like 2 bigger ones, probably about seven and a half feet tall. I asked them what they wanted. Not a good idea. It got me eaten my one of the bigger ones, while the famous people started fighting them. I woke up and laughed really hard at my dream action. I think it was form listening to the newest podcast about treating DCs with respect before bed lol.
    6. 1st lucid since 3 year lay off (26.8.2013)

      by , 08-29-2013 at 08:53 AM (CHiLLEN's Dream Journal)
      Non lucid - black text
      Semi Lucid - red text
      Lucid - blue text

      After just over a week of getting my dream recall and awareness up to scratch, I had a Lucid. It was only short but wasn't expecting it so early.

      I was at a school in my home town called (St Agatha's Primary). I never attended this school.
      I noticed a steel fence, which had a hole at the top. I climbed through the hole pretty quickly, and was pretty impressed. I looked back to see a girl climb over. She did it with so much ease, It was as if she climbed it in 1 transition.

      We were both walking down the road where the general store (right next to school). She was about 10 meters in front of me, I had a feeling she may have thought I was following her, but I was going the exact way she was. She veered off to the Skate Park, and funny enough, so did I. She kept looking back at me, convinced I was following her.

      The girl was now in a wheel chair. She went straight for the half pipe and launched herself into the air to complete a DOUBLE BACK FLIP.. I laughed in disbelief and did a RC (Checked my hand) and noticed extra fingers. I didn't get over excited surprisingly. I didn't stabilize the dream, instead I looked around and everything was extremely vivid, it looked like reality.

      I saw 2 people, I think I knew them. I was going to tell them that this was a dream out of excitement, but decided not to.

      I was on roller blades and went straight towards the ramps. I was doing some sweet tricks with so much ease. I don't think I was fully lucid, but was aware nothing could hurt me.


      I was talking to a few people that I knew, and told one of them that I was going to do a triple. I think a friend (Jamie S?) asked me if him asking me to try and do a quadruple backflip, would piss me off? I said it would be pretty hard, but I'll try and get the triple back flip out of the way first.

      I continued doing tricks at ease. I waited on top of the half pipe to focus myself on the triple back flip. I noticed a dog at the bottom of the table top, I think it was my dog Trigger (who passed away this year), He had a blanket around him. I was worried that I would land on him if I went for the flip. I was looking at the spine (2 half pipes with there backs together), getting myself pumped for the flip, and noticed the rail on the spine was warped. I decided to go to the right of it where the other ramp was.


      A sound, like a horror movie (like when the killer if sneaky up on their victim) was being played. The scene turned from light to dark, and red writing was printed in my vision. A villain in the dream was about to approach the scene (from the back of shop/thru the park/towards the skate park)

      Dream ended.

    7. Snipers and Survivor

      by , 08-29-2013 at 08:21 AM (SilverWolf's Sleep Sessions)
      Wed August 28, 8:00 am

      I live in a high-rise apartment in a big city. On the news, there’s been reports of a “sniper killer” who’s been murdering people with a sniper rifle from a long distance away. I’m looking out my window from the apartment, when I see two guys canvassing other nearby buildings, pointing and windows and stuff, in deep conversation. Then, one of the guys looks up right into my eyes. A smile crosses his face, and he nods at me. I don’t know how, but I just know this is the guy who’s been killing people.

      I call up my parents, because I don’t have a gun and they do—I want to be able to defend myself, because I know that he knows what I suspect; and I am afraid he is going to try and kill me. In fact, I KNOW this. So, my parents come over, lending me a pistol. They also stay there, to help me hold off any attack should it come to that.

      A few hours later (dream), towards the evening, a car pulls up to the window. That’s right, a car pulls up to a WINDOW in a HIGH-RISE apartment building. So much for keeping an eye out for dreamsigns, right? Anyway, this guy pulls up to the window, and my Dad, for whatever reason, asks “Are you the sniper?” –As if, if the guy WERE the killer, he’d say so!—and the guy, a black man that looks like Drebin from Metal Gear Solid 4, pulls out his cell phone and states “Yeah, distance is about 500 yards.” Mom, dad, and myself stare open mouthed at the guy, until he bursts out laughing. He tells me that he’s here to help. He then proceeds to enter my apartment THROUGH the window, his car just hanging out in the air.

      He hands me a gun, a realllly sleek looking Baretta 9mm. Only it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen IRL. It has a smooth curvy build to it, and it’s very futuristic looking. AND, weirdly enough, it has a cell-phone built into the barrel of the gun (the top). The Drebin look-alike then teaches me how to properly use it, giving me tips on how to aim properly. Funny thing is, when I go to dry fire the gun, it turns into a REVOLVER

      Apparently that is normal though, and when I go to take a closer look at the gun, it’s the sleek Baretta once more. The Drebin-looking guy leaves, and my parents and I prepare to hold down the fort, waiting for this sniper guy to attack us. Before anything can happen, however…my alarm clock wakes me up for the day.



      august 28 time unknown

      This one just a fragment. I start out playing a video game based on the TV show survivor. And then, something strange happens. I actually AM on survivor! I’m on some island somewhere, trying to survive my fellow contestants to win a million bucks. AND, funny enough, a previous player, Naonka is there; a player I absolutely detest. I get into an argument with her about how she treated that handicap woman in her first season on the show, and tempers are flaring. She pretty much bawls me out for daring to get onto her when she’s providing for the tribe. I tell her that despite her providing, she’s still a b***h, and deserves to be voted out. That’s all I can remember of this one.

    9. Lucid #2: A Stranger's Reflection

      by , 08-29-2013 at 03:09 AM
      This one came as a surprise, as I haven't been doing any LD techniques these past couple of months.

      I was in a public restroom. I thought I had ceased to exist, or something to that extent, so I looked in the mirror to see myself and instead I saw the reflection of a blonde girl I don't know. At first I was terrified because this was proof that I was no longer there, but then I remembered that in dreams one's reflection usually appears different. So, I wanted to wake myself up, but I couldn't, which made me worry the I wasn't dreaming. I ran out of the restroom...

    10. 28th Aug 2013 Video game mix

      by , 08-29-2013 at 12:22 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream 1(fragments):

      There was some video game with dragons.

      Dream 2:

      I was playing some Doom mod, coop with somebody. We were going through some locations, mostly through some kind of underground complex, and fighting enemies. I've had some energy based weapons and was doing fairly well.
      Then we have reached outside area, it was an area with four blocky houses surrounded by a desert, we had to go through each one to solve some switch puzzles and fight enemies, then there was area surrounded by walls near one of houses where we had to fight lots of big enemies like mancubuses on a few elevator platforms. Then also there were some custom enemies, one of them being hell knight with 4 legs that continued to fight as 'floating' body after losing legs and was pretty quick. Then in another house i've found a few secrets including machinegun with poison bullets that i identified as really rare, the entry into secret area was located in one of houses and through semi-hidden passage located in one of mazes in the house. Also i've found another powerful weapon in different secret area.
      As we continued with the level game suddenly switched to be spiral knights, i've still had the secret weapon, which in here acted like strike needle, but with continuous, a bit slower, fire and ability to move while firing. It was pretty powerful and dealt decent damage to mechas despite being piercing damage type.
      Shortly we were back to area with houses and now game switched to be some kind of 3D platformer, after going through some jumping puzzles i got inside another building, there was a portal which lead into some different dimension. It was kinda peaceful dimension with platforms on top of the trees, filled with various treasures. After a while a cutscene started, which shown some female character shouting on the top of one of fur houses and holding a feather. Then some parrot flies in and says that it's his feather and asks to get it back.
    11. meeting a shapeshifter

      by , 08-28-2013 at 10:12 PM
      First dream was of me parking my car on a pizza delivery and getting some ticket, ended up meeting who gave me the ticket, asked em if they could do anything about it cause i already have registration and smog to do for it... couldn't afford a couple hundred bucks, then he said its was actually 5000 which made my jaw drop. He ended up saying he would see what he could do to get it dropped.

      I woke up, went back to sleep

      I woke in my room at night, went to go outside, and i noticed one of the cats we feed was chasing a tiny little deer.

      I was talking calmy to it once it was stopped ontop of the brick wall, having not seen any deer here in the city i found it odd. As i kept talking "hi, how are you" blah blah blah, it suddenly turned into this beautiful dark skinned lass. I was flabberghasted, cant recall much of the dialogue other than me asking if she would like to joing me in smoking a bowl of some herb, to which she said she would like. I came back outside and i guess one of my friends who was staying over followed me out. I noticed this huge fat cat sitting in one of the chairs. My friend asked about the cat and where it came from I kind of jsut mouthed to him "thats a person : o"

      Woke up before we could share that bowl of herb x.x

    12. WILDs recap

      by , 08-28-2013 at 08:44 PM (Ophelia's Book O' Fun II)
      I was naughty and didn't record some WILDs from last week. On my phone so just brief points:

      The one where I tried he'll one last time. The devil was small and at the bottom of the tunnel. I grabbed at him but he was like air. He slipped away through a hole in the rocks, and I stuck my hand I. The he to get him. Something happened causing great pain in my hand, like electrocution, then I woke up.

      Then the one where I figured out how to summon DCs! I just ti d a tall building which are usually around, then fly to a top floor window, and they're right there behind the window! I have to flap hard with my arms though because I apparently fly heavy. Anyways, I succeeded I getting with a cute blonde chic this way, but I woke up before sex. I DEILDed I to the same dream, found her again, woke up too soon again.

      The one where I found a pretty brunette this time, using the fly to the window method. This time I succeeded in getting with her. I decided to watch the details this time. Won't go too specific. Anyway it was such a turn on that I woke up!

    13. Including gods, shapeshifters, and captivity

      by , 08-28-2013 at 07:46 PM
      A fragment of dialogue: "And you will be trusted with it. Again."

      (Woke up at 7:50 am, after getting to bed at 4:30 am. Back to sleep.)

      I'm reading a multi-volume autobiography. This particular chapter is describing a vision the author had at a young age, and what he thought about that - not about the content of the vision, but the act of having one.

      A man is being held captive by a coyote god, or rather a coyote spirit which has temporarily become a god, taking on a human but coyote-headed physical form. They're surrounded by baby spiders acting as helpful servants. This man had been searching for his wife, refusing to believe the reports of her death, and his search led him here.

      As Haruka/Onikui, I'm chained in a cell, with Minamoto Raikou standing over me with the keys.

      (Woke at 9:04. Back to sleep.)

      "They had more passion, ordinary things; and it didn't do to tempt the passions of ordinary things in passing." The thoughts of a woman who had a man over to eat together with her mother and her daughter, flirting and enjoying it, but with this thought in her head.

      (Woke at 10:28. Back to sleep - but I woke up roughly every half hour after that, and I kept running into that problem where, half-awake, I think about writing a dream down and mistake that thought for having actually done it, and so forget the dream. Nonetheless I wound up with two more pages of notes, mostly too dull to bother writing out in detail.)

      Very dull dreams from the rest of the night included discussions of my control issues, a man taking the shape of a three-eyed bat with a green-and-gold mask, watching the sunset, farm work, bear hunting, anatomy studies, a vampire movie starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan, the death of Mickey Mouse while he was nobly saving Donald Duck, my IRL civilian sister as a military police officer in training, a werewolf-hunting father and daughter giving a werewolf shelter in their home, and a sitcom about hobbits with fangs.

    14. Hours of LDs Part 3: WILD

      by , 08-28-2013 at 07:46 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      08/27/13 After the restroom I looked at the clock and it was 9am. It appears the second LD spanned about an hour as my boy leaving the house would have been about 10 till 8. I was able to easily do a WILD (what a night!)
      I am running out of time to work on my DJ so this one is going to be only quick flashes from some of the best scenes. Visiting with women while running around the high school. Running with my long since passed away dog. Going into the high school and looking around when janitors asked me if my dog was ok. Her tail had been cropped. Who would crop a German Sheppard's tail? Climbing floor by floor up the outside of a great skyscraper. Climbing up the largest tree I could find and jumping down,,,, and so on,,, just random screwing around. I have no idea how long this lasted. A very long time, as when I woke up it was almost 11. I am sure some of that time was regular sleep.

    15. Hours of LDs Part 2: DEILD

      by , 08-28-2013 at 07:38 PM (Cities in the Astral)
      08/27/13 Held still and pictured the scene from my prior dream. Perfect success,,, lucid again. I left the old house and went back to the down town area. I screwed around and explored inside a building. I ran into an old friend who told me he was making fire works. Random scenes came and went, but are hardly worth stressing to recall involving exploring the building. I again tried to travel on foot to see if I could recreate a realist version of my city. Again very abridged. I ended up over at my old high school. I found a small group of high school boys, and decided for fun to talk to them about this being a dream, as for some reason I got it in my head at least one of them may actually be a dreamer. I asked them how they could go about telling if it was a dream, and so on,,, I demonstrated how I could step up on to a non existent step, thus floating a foot off the ground. Eventually I thought we should light off some fireworks. I went to the corner of the school closest to the building where my friend had said he was making them and just called out, "hey, can I have some of those fireworks?" No one came to me and the boys were watching. I just decided to skip that part and confidently stated "Thanks kid" taking something out of the hand of a non existent firework delivery boy. The young men looked confused.
      In my hand were 4 strips of metal, I did not question it knowing they were some odd form off fire work. I just bent one piece around another. One of the boys offered to light it. It worked and a nice little flare went up and popped into sparks. I decided the next one was bigger. The remaining piece (should have been two, but I ignored that) had expanded in size. The kid lit it and a really nice firework went off with colored sparks falling fro about 30 feet up.
      I could suddenly tell I had to pee IRL. How many LDs have been ruined by this? I did not fight it as by this point it seemed like this LD had gone on 30 minutes or so. I just told the boys, "I have to wake up now." I did wake up and used the rest room. Then I did a WILD (WBTB).
